Gwen Gustafson filled up the stat sheet Thursday, as the Wolves drilled Mount Vernon Christian.
Rest is for the weak, not for the Wolves.
Playing Thursday with the minimum six players, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad did what it almost always does — win, and win convincingly.
Playing their season finale on the road at Mount Vernon Christian, the Wolf spikers polished off the Hurricanes 25-12, 25-10, 25-15.
The victory lifts Coupeville’s final record to 10-2 in Northwest 2B/1B league play, 12-3 overall.
Coming on the heels of a 6-3 mark during a pandemic-shortened campaign during the 2020-2021 school year, that leaves second-year Wolf JV coach Ashley Menges sporting an 18-6 mark.
The former CHS varsity volleyball star found herself alone on the bench Thursday, but she and her players adapted.
“It was a pretty slow game, but we worked through a lot, and the six girls I had got a lot of playing time,” Menges said.
“Grey (Peabody) did a really great job tonight, playing some back row, but Jada (Heaton) really impressed (varsity coach Cory) Whitmore and I both tonight.
“Overall, we came out with a win on a weird way to end the season.”
